Weight of Hammer given Allowable Load for Drop Hammer Driven Piles Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hammer Weight = (Allowable Pile Load*(Penetration per Blow+1))/(2*Height of Drop)
W_h = (P_a*(p+1))/(2*H_d)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hammer Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Hammer Weight is the simply the weight of the hammer.
Allowable Pile Load - (Measured in Kilogram) - Allowable Pile Load is the load allowed on a pile by considering it's bearable stress.
Penetration per Blow - (Measured in Meter) - Penetration per Blow is the measure of penetration of pile on each blow of hammer.
Height of Drop - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Drop is the height from which hammer is dropped.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Allowable Pile Load: 10.01 Kilogram --> 10.01 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Penetration per Blow: 2 Millimeter --> 0.002 Meter (Check conversion here)
Height of Drop: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_h = (P_a*(p+1))/(2*H_d) --> (10.01*(0.002+1))/(2*3)

Evaluating ... ...

W_h = 1.67167

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.67167 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.67167 Kilogram <-- Hammer Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
